Do you enjoy playing cornhole in your backyard with your family, friends, or neighbors? Or are you involved in a league or other type of professional play and take your cornhole games very seriously? Whether you are a casual or more competitive player, you can take your game to the next level by choosing the right cornhole bags.
Here is the ultimate guide to choosing the right cornhole bags for your next game or tournament.
Why Cornhole?
Having cornhole games or tournaments is fun for everyone involved. You can take your cornhole boards and cornhole bags with you when you go camping or to the beach, you can set them up in your backyard for a casual game with friends, or you can hold specific events for your business or non-profit to enhance your community relations or raise money for a good cause. Everyone can play this easy game and it’s fun for kids and adults alike.
Make Sure They Are Regulation
To start with, you need to make sure your cornhole bags fit the regulations set forth by the American Cornhole Association (ACO). According to regulations, bags must:
- Weigh between 15.75 ounces and 16.25 ounces.
- Be filled with plastic beads or resin.
- Be between a thickness of 1.125 and 1.5 inches when flat.
- When flat, not exceed 5.75 inches at the narrowest point and 8.25 inches at the widest point.
- Be one primary color.
- Have a clearly printed manufacturer name or logo and series name.
- Have corners that are not rounded more than 0.5 inches from the corner.
Choose Your Favorite Colors
While bags do have to be one primary color to fit ACO regulations, they can be any color you want. Many choose red and blue for their bag colors, but you don’t have to stick to these common choices. Also, if you are not playing competitively, you can go against the rules and choose bags that have designs, prints, or other fun decoration that fits your personality or unique style.
Consider Customized Bags
You have another option when it comes to choosing bags for your next fundraiser, business events, or game night with friends or family members: customized bags. Though customized bags will probably not work in competition play, they are perfect for your next casual get-together or business events. Here are some fun ideas for customization:
- Your business logo.
- The name of the event and date it is held.
- The logo and mission statement for the non-profit you are raising funds for.
- Images of attendees.
- Fun jokes.
- Your favorite sports team logo.
- Holiday-themed prints such as fireworks or armed forces logos.
Choosing the Right Cornhole Bags
There is no one best choice when it comes to selecting the right cornhole bags. Think about your purpose for having the game, if you want the bags to be used as giveaways or to solidify your brand, and how long before event you have if you are considering custom cornhole bags. When you know your reasons for playing, you can easily choose bags that perfectly fit your personality or event.
